Originally, in the 28th round of the Premier League on March 11, Manchester United would have a Premier League match against Southampton, but again because Manchester United's schedule was adjusted to May 17. A number of matches were tweaked in this round, with only 10 teams finishing on time, including Liverpool's win over Burnley and Manchester City's draws at Stoke City's.

With the current lead of Chelsea and Manchester United, the other teams are still behind them even if they have one or two games in hand, so they still occupy one or two places.

……

At 12 o'clock at noon on March 19, in the 29th round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged Middlesbrough away.

In this game, Manchester United once again showed their quality, winning 3-1 against their opponents, and did not give their opponents any chance throughout the game, and finally the Middlesbrough players scored a goal on the counterattack when the game was almost over and the United players were a little relaxed.

However, Chelsea on the other side also won against their opponents in this round, so the two teams are still three points apart.

……

On April 1, in the thirtieth round of the Premier League, at 4 p.m., Manchester United hosted West Browwicz.

In the end, the two teams were tied 1-1.

In this game, Shen Peng was defended very tightly, although he had tried his best to help his teammates pull space, but his teammates seemed to be in a bad state, so he only scored a goal.

However, although they lost, Chelsea also lost to Crystal Palace in this game, so the difference between the two teams was reduced to two points. This is good news for Manchester United, who have played one game less than Chelsea, and if they win that game, they will be one point ahead of Chelsea and the initiative to win the title is in their hands.

Everything was going in a good direction, but on 4 April, in the 31st round of the Premier League, United drew 2-2 with Everton.

In this game, defender Bailly, who joined Manchester United with Shen Peng this season, was injured, and according to the preliminary estimate of the team doctor, there is no need to count on this season.

With another two draws in a row, United's situation has become delicate.

With Chelsea's 2-1 win over Manchester City, the gap between the two teams has widened to four points again, and the gap is growing even more with fewer games remaining.

And Tottenham Hotspur performed well during this time, and slowly caught up, and the gap with Manchester United was only three points.

Right now, Manchester United have lost the fewest games in the Premier League, having lost just one game so far this season, but they have drawn too many games, with eight games, the joint-highest in the Premier League with Tottenham, which has resulted in their total points not being as good as Chelsea, who have drawn less.

Many people also analyzed that although Shen Peng was introduced this season, the impact of Manchester United's previous seasons has not been completely eliminated, football is not a one-person game after all, and it requires the cooperation of eleven teammates, so this has led to Manchester United now attacking very sharply at Shen Peng's point, but the overall offensive ability is not strong.

Of course, Manchester United's dense schedule is also an important influence, resulting in many times the team has to rotate, and when there are substitutes to play, some players simply can't keep up with Shen Peng's rhythm, which also wastes a lot of opportunities.

Even so, the Reds are still under enough pressure for the title, and Shen Peng has been indebted, scoring a total of 29 goals and 16 assists in the 29 games he has played.

Compared to last season, the top scorer is Tottenham's Harry Kane with a total of 25 goals; Arsenal's Mesut Ozil topped the assist list with a total of 19, while Tottenham's Christian Eriksen was second.

So last season, Shen Peng had four more assists in the remaining nine games, and he would be able to win the scorer list and the assist list!

Even this season, Shen Peng has basically no problem winning the Golden Boot, and his current assists are the highest in the entire Premier League, three times higher than De Bruyne of Manchester City in second!

To score goals, to help his teammates score, that's what he's worth!

This analysis, many people are amazed, if Manchester United does not have Shen Peng this season, it may not even be able to enter the top four!

Of course, if you don't buy Shen Peng, Manchester United can bring in a lot of other players, as for whether these other players can play the role of Shen Peng, it is difficult to say......

……

At half past twelve at noon on April 9, in the 32nd round of the English Premier League, Manchester United challenged Sunderland away.

In this game, Manchester United finally ended their confusion and won 4-0, but among the other strong teams, except for Arsenal, who lost to Crystal Palace, they all won the game, so the difference did not widen.

……

On April 13, in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Europa League, Manchester United challenged Anderlecht away from Belgian team.

Shen Peng once met this team in the Champions League group stage when he was in Dortmund, and he easily defeated them at that time, and now two seasons have passed, and he has met this team in the Europa League again.

However, now Shen Peng's strength is stronger, and Manchester United is not weaker than Dortmund, so naturally they were slaughtered again, and a 4-0 victory was achieved away.

……

At 3 p.m. on April 16, in the 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Chelsea.

It was also the game that Shen Peng had been waiting for, and in this game, he was able to complete Schneider's task, as Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was one of the people on the system's list.

Chelsea won the first half of the season against Manchester United, and that game was also Manchester United's only loss this season, and many Manchester United fans also called this game "revenge battle", hoping that the team can win at home, in addition to revenge, but also close the point gap with Chelsea in the standings, then they will take the initiative to win the title.

For the outside world, this match, which is closely related to the final championship of the season, has naturally attracted a lot of attention, and it can be said that no matter who wins this game, the chances of winning the championship will be greatly increased.

Now, Manchester United has Premier League and Europa League games, Chelsea has Premier League and FA Cup games, but the Europa League has a much more schedule than the FA Cup, and since the quarter-finals of the sixteenth, it has been a two-legged home and away match, so compared to Chelsea, who have not had an easy European game this season, Manchester United must have some physical disadvantages.

As a result, most people thought Chelsea would still win against Manchester United in this game.

However, the final result is not something that can be decided in two sentences, everything depends on the actual game.
